The main dining room always had excellent food and wine , the waiters and wine staff were all very friendly and helpful. Buffet restaurant was always a bit hectic.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The dance lessons were good on sea days. We watched Bohemian rahapsody which was great and a surprise as it was so recently released . The vending shows were always s of a good quality. There were a lot of charged activities e.g, the technology lectures for iPads etc .

Size comfort excellent cabin steward. Good storage and plenty coat hangers. Would have liked shower gel rather than soap!

Ship tip

The tours are far too expensive for what they offer. Book your own.
